1. I turned in a bike I found. If it isn't claimed, can I have it?

Once property is in Police Department custody we have to have a court order to dispose of the property in some manner. With found property all reasonable efforts are tried in an attempt to return the property to the correct owner. We then have to list the property and get a disposal order from the judge. A person can claim property and we can list it on the judicial destruction order to have it turned over to the finder. This may take up to a year depending on when the last destruction order was done.

2. How do I go about claiming my property?

Contact the evidence custodian for the Laramie Police Department at (307) 721-3546. With the various kinds of property and the various rules, the custodian can give you the best information as to the particular property.

3. How do I sign up for a ride-along in an officer’s patrol car?

Riders must be 18 years of age or have a special permission and waiver from the Office of the Chief of Police. This requires a minimal check of your background and a signing of a waiver of liability. This is dependent on shift manning and limited slots are available so please be aware that you may not get the time you request. You must come to the Police Department (620 Plaza Court) Monday through Friday, between 8:00 am and 5:00 pm to pick up the necessary forms.
